Kenny was incredible in 2022-2023. He vaulted into a starting role after a junior varsity existence the previous year. He was wonderful defended the basketball in November into December. His first-step was and is elite for a high school lead guard, but there came a ramping up from steady to occasionally dominant. The pinnacle of his play occurred in a slugfest against Beech.
Green Hill’s Kenny Ellis Kenny Ellis 5'11" | PG Green Hill | 2024 State TN forced a steal, and before a blink scored a three-pointer! The ball was Beech’s and Kenny flipped the table and ended their dinner party! With 2.4 left, Beech was in an absurdly different world then they lived in a mere 30 seconds of gametime prior.

Elite high school scorer. Rocco is a silky scoring guard with modest bounce and oodles of guile. Lamuno is making his PrepHoopsTN ranking debut, largely because of an oversight. Regardless, RL is picking up college offers as July ends. Look for him to challenge

Better than average athlete. Smart (26 ACT). Touch is pure to 13′. Hudson is not weak and not incredibly strong. He has a good frame to add even more muscle and yet he rarely gets overpowered at the 4A level. Hudson showed off a surprisingly quick first step during his AAU season. Looks like a D2 forward. CH can guard the 2-4 in high school.
